Netflix announce additional cast and release date for Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee's How To Get To Heaven From Belfast

Netflix have announced a line-up of supporting cast members for the upcoming series How To Get To Heaven From Belfast, set to release February 2026.

“We got the gang back together — the creative team behind Derry Girls has reunited to bring you How to Get to Heaven from Belfast," said creator, writer and executive producer Lisa McGee.

“This is the show I’ve always wanted to make; a mash‑up of my two favourite genres, mystery and comedy. We want to keep you guessing and keep you laughing. I can’t wait for you to meet Saoirse, Robyn and Dara, and go on this wild, weird adventure with them — an Irish odyssey — full of twists, turns, and arguments about eyelash extensions.”

The newly revealed cast members include Bronagh Gallagher, Ardal O'Hanlon, Art Campion and Michelle Fairley.

The news follows the previous announcement of Roísín Gallagher as Saoirse, Sinéad Keenan as Robyn and Caoilfhionn Dunne as Dara.

The eight episode series centres around the trio, who have been friends since school.

"Now in their late 30s, but still as close as ever, these three friends are about to embark on the most thrilling adventure of their lives," read the synopsis.

"When an email arrives, telling them about the death of the estranged fourth member of their childhood gang, a series of eerie events at her wake set them on a dark, dangerous and hilarious odyssey through Ireland and beyond as each tries to piece together the truth of the past."
